Great corollas in here!

sprinter gen I is Epic..hopefully i can find one in PH and bring some parts back

looking good

stoopid rocks cracked me left fog. fell right off the mountain!! doin 20 icey and cloudy

^ Nice perspective. Sorry to hear about what happened to your fog light though.

Here's a quick shot that I took from the beach the other day:

I decided to return to a couple of my favourite photo locations today as I haven't been back since installing my new wheels and window tint. Here's how they came out:

i feel like you should ship me your side skirts and mud flaps

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

RWD conversion????

is that real or photo chopped?

looks like a turbo blacktop. i wanna see build pics! radiator looks kinna small. like a honda one or something.

Had some extraordinary luck at my local junkyard today!!!! I found an ultra rare AE101 JDM optional Air Fantasy unit (still with plenty of scent left in the cartridges), a JDM optional air purifier and JDM 6.5" rear speaker brackets and covers. It was like all my Christmas' had come at once

Here's the pics

so nice, so clean, you 7th gen owners put us 8th gen owners to shame.

great idea but the more i look at it i start to think bullshit, one thing that doesn't sit right is the radiator hose, it goes left when the water inlet for that engine is on the right, and who post up a dodgy black and white pic of something that would be awsome, with out anymore info on it

wth, was that a 4age boosted rwd conversion?????????????????????????????? *o*

No proof? I call shenanigans.

holy crap, thats a disturbing one

made me lol

im a /b/ oldfag

Oil catch can installed:













Final product:

My OEM Toyota BZ Touring wagon headlights arrived today!! . Wasted no time in installing them:

Really compliments the grille, nice job. You should post a before and after.

Thanks man. I actually thought about taking before and after shots, but was too anxious to get the lights installed, haha. However, I took a front on photo of my car yesterday, so I'll go and take another shot tonight when the sun goes down a bit more

EDIT: Actually, here's an old photo that's on a very similar angle to one of the photos I took today. This will do in the meantime

Here's some comparison pics (taken on different days, but basically the same point of view - Accidentally left my mirrors folded in the after pic too) -

Before:


After:



And here's some more shots that I just took as the sun went down (was too much glare throughout the day) -

they look beautiful man. honestly thought your car could not possibly get any nicer but, once again, you completely blow my mind Great job man. you are an inspiration to all, well, at least to me!!

also here at the pics of the wheel i promised




the horn still doesnt work. i finally took some time today to examine the problem in depth and found the the stock steering wheel has completely different electrical components than the BZ wheel you sent me. So i will have to do some heavy modification to get it all working again. More importantly i'll have to hack massive plastic parts of the BZ wheel to get it all working again so im a bit hesitant as it should be expected for reasons you already know. if i end up doing it in the end i know it will still look great but, i have a feeling i might be putting it off for a while. at least till i can dream up a clean way to got it done.

Thanks Daniel!!!! Means a lot

Thanks for the pics! That wheel looks so sweet. Hell, I'd get one for my car if I didn't have my OEM Toyota Momo one . Does it still smell like Meguiar's leather cleaner?

Sucks to hear about the horn, but if I were you I'd just rig up the horn to a small button on the dash. Would save cutting into the steering wheel, not to mention a whole bunch of stress. Might save you from a few blacks eyes too from impulsively blasting the horn when some dickhead pulls out in front of you and gets angry thinking that you're in the wrong . Either way, I'm sure you'll be able to get it working again. It'll still look sweet regardless

it doesnt smell like it anymore, but it will soon cuz i ordered some! i want to keep the wheel looking as nice as possible for as long as possible yano. it feels great and i want it to look great too! didnt you say that you found another wheel? either ways it still looks great.

requests for the future: some serious interior shots. i wanna see if the inside of your car looks as nice as the outside plus i want some ideas for the future. lol

pertaining to the horn; yeah thats what my dad said too. i think im gonna go with the dash button. the only thing that puts me off is that i have so much stuff in the dash as is. and i have heated seats i wanna do in the future and where are those buttons gonna go? in the dash too, sooo thats why im partial to just getting the wheel to work like it used to.

also on an ending note; god damn i love that wheel! it feels like it completes the interior i was going for! i just love it.
